Hi I currently have a ep82 starlet I have standard internals as far as I am aware the car at the moment just has decat induction kit and hks actuator if i bought a fuel cut of defender a front mount and uprated fuel regulator could I run a bar safely?what you would you recomend and at what bhp would you think?
Thanks
 
youd need a manifold or youll fry your engine as the standard one is too restrictive!

sps dane on here sells top class manifolds at good prices as well as great frount mount intercoolers

well to run 1 bar u also need a manifold and an uprated exhaust system

well it should push out about 170-180bhp max with these mods and a good RR tune

Go full on 1 bar if you can, its just that i dont have a boost controller so couldnt get it spot on!

I didnt notice a difference but u need one though if your going 1 bar

0.98 something stupid like that.

Standard ct9

and just a universal induction mate. Does the job!

thats a good result buddy:rockon:

so you just put a filter on the end of the efi pipe is it?

yeh fella, i had to get 1 as the intercooler i got wouldnt let me keep the oem airbox.

Yeah good result, could of seen more but my boost starts to drop meaning i need a boost controller!!!!

so you got the filter near the battery or back in the right corner where the oem airbox normally is?

yeah danes boost controller and gauge packets looks tasty:) prob be getting one myself soon! just collecting the parts for the build at the moment!


emanage cost me 490euro and 100 euro for the universal harness needed with it! it not necessary as long as you got your fcd an fpr set up right but would give you a finer tune and would unlock a few horses no doubt!:)

id also recommend an induction kit relocated to front grill from monster motorsport on here would give ya a few more bhp and make your turbo spool quicker!

is there an awful difference at 170bhp than standard?:drive:

Yeah got it setup right well i hope so lol!

I was thinking that but i might hit boost creep which is what i dont want. At the moment im happy of how it performs.

Hell yeah, i was right up a mondeo st v6 ass last night, he couldnt shake me off. im well happy and so will you.
although you'll want more power after a while!!
